Ceat Monsoon Smart campaign started in India
Ceat has launched the second edition of the Monsoon Smart campaign in India. Ceat's initiative focuses on road safety for motorists, allowing them to be equipped for the monsoon.
The Indian tyre company will be setting up 232 tyre clinics for educating riders on road safety. They can also get tyres checked for overall health and functionality. Ceat will also be identifying over four and a half lakh worn out tyres with their new 'bike tagging' program. Tagging, they claim, will help reduce incidence of accident caused by wet weather.
Ceat Tyre Assist, a free android app from the company will be helping riders locate their bikes in crowded parking lots. They're also giving out emergency numbers for Ceat call centres and the police along with helplines for finding out recommended tyre pressures and tips for keeping tyres in shipshape condition.
Nitish Bajaj, VP, marketing, CEAT ltd, said, "India accounts for about 10 per cent of road crash fatalities worldwide and monsoon is one time of the year that witnesses maximum accidents and mishaps. Safe driving and maintenance of tyres should be top priority during monsoons, and CEAT wishes to spread this message with our annual Monsoon Smart campaign. We got great response to the campaign last year and we plan to reach out to riders across the country through this initiative."
